RESTAURANTE LOREA

I had such an incredible experience here! This is one of my favorite restaurants I’ve ever been to! The food was out of this world delicious and creative, the service amazing, and one of my favorite tasting menu experiences. I felt like the tasting menu portion was very generous and super reasonably priced. I love this restaurant and will be returning next time I’m in Mexico City! Highly recommend!

So this place has some great reviews, and has made a bunch of lists of top restaurants, but it wasn’t right for us. The ambiance feels kind of like a standard hotel lobby restaurant…the lighting is pretty bright, and it just feels plain. The food we had was quite good, but I wish there had been a menu we could have looked at online beforehand…we didn’t want to do a long tasting menu, but that seems to be the thing they push. Service was quite good, and in English if needed. Might give it another try, as we were having a rough day and that might have affected things…but there are so many other wonderful places in town that this one didn’t really stand out.

This meal was disappointing for what we expected, and the service was sub-par unfortunately. Beautiful interior, and they were thoughtful to wish us happy anniversary, but we waited much too long in between courses on an evening that the restaurant was not even remotely full. Our waitress could not name the cheeses on the cheese board we ordered; she seemed to be new but this wasn't communicated to us. 75% of the food was lovely, the rest not so much. There are better places to go in CDMX for your time and money.

Took my friends from out of town here for a unique fine dining experience and Lorea delivered! I was worried about the negative reviews but their menu changes constantly so I decided to go and find out for myself. Glad I did. The waiters were kind and very attentive. The food was thought provoking and delicious. My friends and I had a great time.

5 star restaurant! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, the food was delicious, lots of mezcales (even rare ones), tequilas, wine..

They paid attention to some details, this was the most impressive we ever had.

If you want a great, different experience, try it! It’s expensive, but is also worth it.

Lorea is a culinary experience that should not be overlooked when booking your trip to Mexico City. We were lucky to find the a table. We went with the tasting menu and had about 10 courses. Each course was great and was given with explanation from the chef or waiter. Service was top notch and the selection of drinks were great. Definitely consider this place when going to Mexico.

I made a lunch reservation and didn’t realize it was a la carte instead of tasting menu which was fine. When I was seated for lunch, they gave me two menus that were both tasting menus, one even had my name personalized on it! So this got my hopes up but which were then deflated when they told me it was a mistake and was still doing a la carte. Other than that, service was impeccable.

As for the food:
Huitlacoche quesadilla soup was way too salty. I understand the Huitlacoche is supposed to balance that out but as it absorbs the soup, the whole thing becomes too salty.
Pastrami was strongly flavored and the chickpea purée was simply amazing but yet again, the dish was too salty. Possibly a little less au jus sauce with the sweetness added bringing out too much of the salt levels.
Honey dessert was pretty tasty, but just a little bit too much olive oil.

The drink I had was amazing with a nice refreshing balance of tart from the grapefruit and sweetness from the syrup and lavender.

After tax and tip, the meal came out to $60USD ($1200 MXN) which included one alcoholic beverage, one espresso, bottled water, appetizer, main and dessert so price was fairly reasonable for a higher end restaurant but the food left a bit to be desired (too much salt that I couldn’t finish the appetizer and main)
